GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ABBI PULLING, 2024 F1 Academy champion, continues as Nissan’s rookie and simulator driver, a role she has held since June 2025, helping shape the team’s GEN4 model.
  • PULLING’s 2025/26 credits include the all-women’s Formula E test, Miami rookie FP, Madrid Rookie Test, and a GB3 race win at Spa — building real single-seater pedigree.
  • Team principal Tommaso Volpe confirms PULLING will join test days and support race weekends, with her own goal to drive GEN4 on track, not just in the sim.
  • Paired with ultra-experienced Sam Bird — 12 Formula E wins across all three car generations — PULLING gives Nissan two contrasting reference points as GEN4’s always-on AWD rewrites energy deployment.

UPCOMING:

  • Nissan Formula E pre-season GEN4 testing at Circuito del Jarama, Spain: November 16–20, 2026
